FOUNDED IN 2013 BY NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED mass tort and class action lawyer Jason P. Sultzer, the Sultzer Law Group has, in just over two years, distinguished itself as a premier boutique litigation firm composed of well known trial lawyers who handle high-stakes litigation nationwide.
ALREADY, THE FIRM HAS BEEN LISTED THE
Martindale-Hubbell® Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers in the field of class actions, and Sultzer and other firm members have individually received AV Preeminent ratings from Martindale-Hubbell®—the highest rating for legal ability and ethical standards.
“IN OPENING OUR FIRM, WE SOUGHT TO ASSEMBLE a group of experienced lawyers from some of the largest and most prestigious law firms and corporations in the country,” says Sultzer, who is a fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, an invitation-only honorary society for trial lawyers comprising less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers.
TO THAT END, THE FIRM’S MODEL IS FUNDAMENTALLY different from other boutique litigation firms which limit their practice to either plaintiff or defense work in a particular area of the law. The Sultzer Law Group instead focuses on resolving complex litigation for businesses and individuals alike, regardless of the issue and whether the client is on the plaintiff or defense side of a case. “This is evident from the firm’s current roster of clients and caseload,” Sultzer explains, which includes a range of nationally recognized companies and individuals, and varies from serving as lead counsel in a high profile litigation against the Federal Trade Commission involving allegedly fraudulent sales of medical monitoring devices, to acting as lead trial counsel for various companies in mass/toxic tort litigation, to serving as lead counsel for a real estate investor in a complex real estate/contractual dispute involving tens of millions of dollars in potential damages. Sultzer has also recovered millions of dollars on behalf of catastrophically injured plaintiffs, and the firm serves as both lead plaintiffs’ counsel and defense counsel in a number of nationwide consumer fraud class actions.
“WE’VE BEEN COUNSELING MANY OF OUR CLIENTS for well over a decade now, and the reason we’ve represented them for so many years is because of both our unparalleled record of courtroom victories and our firsthand understanding of the different pressures and responsibilities faced by in-house counsel,” Sultzer says.
INDEED, SULTZER STARTED HIS CAREER LEARNING how to try cases and managing nationwide mass tort litigation as in-house counsel for Owens Corning, which at the time was facing thousands of asbestos lawsuits. He later worked at and served as the co-chair of the class action practice group for one of the largest law firms in the country, where, in one particularly notable case, he succeeded in getting a series of national class action lawsuits involving tens of millions of dollars in potential damages dismissed for his client. “Our clients come to us because we get results,” Sultzer explains.
“IT’S GRATIFYING TO KNOW THAT OUR CLIENTS
trust us to handle their most pressing issues, many of which could potentially devastate them in the event of an unfavorable resolution,” Sultzer says. “While we’re a boutique firm headquartered in New York, our caseload is increasingly national in scope, which I attribute to both our overall focus on efficiency and our ability to try cases.”
